Zinc - a must for a horse's coat, skin and hooves. Zinc is one of the most common trace elements with a deficiency. One of the reasons for this is the drastic decrease of nutrients in the soils of Central Europe. Zinc is an essential trace element for horses; this means that their organism cannot produce zinc itself. Zinc must therefore be supplied via food. The most common symptoms of a zinc deficiency are:
- Flaky skin
- Eczema
- Poor wound healing
- Susceptibility to infections
Orthosal organic zinc is perfect for compensating for a zinc deficiency and keeping the zinc content at the desired level. The organic zinc complexes ensure optimum availability in the organism. Zinc helps to strengthen the immune defense and significantly supports the function and regeneration of the skin, hair, hooves and mucous membranes (such as in the gastrointestinal tract or lungs). Orthosal Zinc makes an important contribution to compensating for a zinc deficiency in horses.
